    I have a 2006 Grand Prix GT SC. The rims that came on my vehicle are 17in and the current tires are 225/55/R17.

    Will 16" steel winter rims clear the brake calipers and rotors on my car?

    The tires in question are Goodyear Nordic 215/65/R16. Will those tires clear suspension parts? Acording to the web, the OD of my current tires are 26.7" and these are 27". The differnce in size is less then 1%.

    I shouldn't have any issues with those tires and rims correct?

    It'll clear...pretty sure those things clear F-Body's...I mean...put them on and find out. Worst case scenario is they rub while you install them right?

    The brakes are the same size on the SE and GT for the 2006 year?
